Once you have the two systems talking to each other (for which adhoc would
likely be fine if AP mode doesnt work [1]), the software issue becomes
actually quite trivial (or I'm missing something).
You need NAT in the kernel to act as a gateway and possible dnsmasq (or
similar) to do DHCP, both of which are very well understood (especially after
years of hacking WRT54 and it's brethren) and available for OpenEmbedded.
[1] Not sure what Win does with DHCP in adhoc mode though. As last resort, you
could do without DHCP sacrificing mostly just some comfort.
